Can someone give me some more information for this coin? Its weight is 14.4 gr. I can't figure out if it's copper or silver coin. I will appreciate any help
I don"t sure but i think - it is VIII maravedis (copper) by Philippus IV (spanish king in XVII century) or Philippus V (XVIII century).
Not strange at all. Many counterfeits have been made of base metal and/or copper, then given a silver wash or silver plating - and passed off as the real thing. What we need to always remember is that most fake coins are made so they can be spent, as money. Only a small portion are made in an effort to fool a collector.
